The AI Graveyard Has Three Kinds of Dead

The AI graveyard is not a list of failures. It is a list of absorptions — and the platforms doing the absorbing are not exempt from dying themselves. TechCrunch's AI graveyard keeps growing: Relay, Character.ai, ChatGPT Atlas, Apple's delayed Siri, Microsoft's Recall, the Humane AI Pin, the Rabbit R1, and more. Read it as a scorecard and you miss the story. Sort it, and three different kinds of death fall out — and the honest answer is that they may not add up to one pattern at all. Relay built AI workflow automation as a Zapier alternative. It shut down entirely in August, because OpenAI, Google and the other platforms simply built the same automation into tools users already had. TechCrunch's verdict was brutal and accurate: it "struggled to hold on to a reason to exist as a stand-alone product." That is the purest form of displacement: the feature survived, the product did not. Huxe…

1 Red Flag That Keeps Me From Buying AMD Stock

About a year and a half of growth is priced into AMD's stock right now. AMD is far more expensive than its peers. AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) struggled in the early stages of the AI arms race. Its technology was lacking and behind its competition. While I won't claim that AMD has caught up on the technological front, its products are far more competitive and serve as viable alternatives to other AI computing units, such as those from Nvidia. However, I'm still not planning on buying AMD stock anytime soon. Why? It's just too expensive. The reality is that a ton of growth has already been priced into the stock, and it's just too expensive to consider investing in right now. The most common way to value a stock is to use the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. This utilizes earnings over the past 12 months to value the stock, and for a big tech company like AMD involved in the AI arms race, you'd…

David Spade and Dana Carvey Blast Hollywood’s Race and Gender Obsession [WATCH]

David Spade and Dana Carvey are challenging Hollywood’s persistent emphasis on race and gender, arguing that the industry’s habit of highlighting those distinctions can feel diminishing rather than inclusive. The comedians addressed the issue during an April 8, 2026, episode of their “Fly on the Wall” podcast. Their guest, comedian Tim Dillon, also joined a broader conversation about the entertainment industry’s struggles in Los Angeles and the departure of people and projects for other states. Spade said award shows regularly draw attention to winners based on their race, gender, or status as the first person from a particular group to receive an honor. He argued that the industry should “stop separating us like that” and simply recognize performers and filmmakers for their work. “On race, let me just say at any of these award shows, I saw a clip the other day saying, 'And this…
